Charlie the Great White Horse and the Journey to Egypt

by Kenneth Mullinix

Another black lightning bolt shot across the prison yard, striking the bell-tower. The large brass bell rang out loud-and-clear, across the prison, down into the nearby city of Saint Louis; startling the townsfolk.

  All the townsfolk looked upwards towards the turbulent skies.

  The ground shook once more in delight as Petar turned his evil mind inward.

  Thoughts raced in his mind, thoughts of the Book of Aka Manah, and the powers that lie between its covers.

  Another reading was forth coming he thought.

  Petar threw his black duster back over his withering body to shield its ugliness from the children, as he dashed back into Kauket's cell to search for the answers, to his redemption.
